LRAB Chapter 45 Taking Action
Chapter 45 Taking Action
Li Wei listened to the angry growls of the Thousand Sons warriors beside him and looked at the Imperial Fist warriors before him, swords drawn, but remained silent.
He simply pointed to his adjutant, Kayan, behind him.
Kayan understood immediately, and pulled out three parchment scrolls from his tactical belt. He stood tall and proud, facing the cold gaze of the Imperial Fist and the dark muzzle of a gun, and walked step by step to the Imperial Fist company commander.
He unfolded three parchment authorization letters bearing different sealing wax seals and announced loudly:
"This is an official authorization signed by the Navigator Family, the Star Speakers, and the Starlight Hall, to protect their settlements and core facilities on Terra, and also to address the shortcomings of certain forces in their ineffective clearing operations."
The company commander of Imperial Fist grabbed the authorization letter, scanned it word by word through the helmet visor, and saw that the stamp and signature on it were indeed genuine.
His voice was devoid of emotion.
"Heh, it really was the work of all three. It seems that we, the Imperial Fist, have indeed been meddling in other people's business today. You can leave now."
Before he finished speaking, the Imperial Fist warriors behind him seemed not to have heard their company commander's words, but instead stepped forward in unison, gripping their guns even tighter.
This involved the internal affairs of the Astartes, and the fact that they had to slink away with their tails between their legs after the three mortal powers spoke up was a great disgrace.
The Imperial Fist Company Commander quickly turned around to stop his men's impulsive actions, and saw that his team had temporarily calmed down.
He then turned around to return the authorization letter in his hand to Kayan, the Thousand Sons' Messenger.
Seeing the Imperial Fist Company Commander's actions, Kayan tried to take the authorization letter back from the company commander.
But as soon as he reached out and grasped the authorization letter, he found that the Imperial Fist Company Commander was holding it tightly and showed no intention of letting go.
Just as Kayan was about to question him, the company commander of the Imperial Fist swung his arm and shoved Kayan, causing him to stumble. At the same time, he crumpled the three authorization letters in his hand into a ball and threw them at Li Wei's feet.
The Imperial Fist Company Commander sneered:
"Senko is indeed capable, actually using mortals to suppress us. I can agree to that, but our brothers of the Imperial Fist will not."
Before he finished speaking, he was about to raise his explosive gun and fire first.
Li Wei's eyes turned cold, and he shook his head, knowing it wouldn't be that simple.
His body surged with purple psionic flames, and in a flash, he covered several meters, grabbed the Imperial Fist Company Commander by the throat, and slammed him against the concrete wall behind him.
The Imperial Fist warriors around him reacted quickly, immediately raising their explosive pistols, aiming at Li Wei, and shouting sharply:
"Put down the company commander, or we'll open fire."
Feeling helpless as he watched the dense array of gun barrels behind him, Li Wei released his grip on the company commander.
Instead of raising his hands, he snapped his fingers, and instantly an invisible force descended.
All the Imperial Fist warriors present knelt on the ground, unable to move.
"Should we kill them?!" Kayan, who had been pushed down earlier, rushed forward and pointed at the Imperial Fists lying motionless on the ground, saying in a sinister tone.
"Huh?" Li Wei was taken aback, but immediately gave his adjutant a sharp rap on the helmet. "They went too far, but we can't go too far."
Killing these Imperial Fist warriors will make Senko and the Imperial Fist mortal enemies, with no room for maneuver.
Moreover, Li Wei sensed something was wrong. He had just been in close contact with the Imperial Fist Company Commander and had glimpsed some fragments of his memories.
This company commander was not a pure member of the Imperial Fist at all; he was actually a senior infiltration agent of the Alpha Legion who had received orders from his own Primarch to interfere with the establishment of the think tank.
Furthermore, regarding the rebellion in Terra, the two engineering companies of the Imperial Fist had already received orders from their Primarch, Rogue Dorn, to quell the uprising.
However, the spy secretly altered the combat orders of these two companies.
The most outrageous thing is that the Imperial Fist Company Commander is a spy for the Alpha Legion, and Li Wei thinks it's best not to expose this in public.
Because, apart from the fact that the spy's ultimate allegiance was wrong, his other behaviors were very much in line with the identity of the Imperial Fist Company Commander.
Because he was originally selected by the Imperial Fist to become a formal cultivator of the Imperial Fist, and eventually rose through the ranks to become a company commander through his bloody battle achievements.
If he were to jump out now and identify him, do you think people would believe a foreign psychic or their company commander with whom they've shared life and death for many years?
As for whether the Alpha Legion has some deeper conspiracy to target the Thousand Sons Legion, Li Wei suggested that it might just be the work of two Primarchs of the Alpha Legion in a moment of impulsiveness.
The most distinctive feature of the Alpha Group is its unpredictability and elusiveness; simply put, they are a bunch of madmen.
"Let's go!" Li Wei shook his head helplessly as he listened to the angry roars of the Imperial Fist warriors, and then led the Thousand Sons warriors to wipe out the remaining rebels.
The pressure that had been pressing down on the Imperial Fist warriors only disappeared abruptly when Li Wei and the Thousand Sons disappeared at the end of the alley.
The subsequent suppression of the rebellion proceeded without any setbacks.
While cleaning up the remaining corrupted psionicists, Li Wei was thinking about something else.
The Alpha Legion can infiltrate other legions to disrupt the situation and steal secrets, and the Thousand Sons can do the same, and in some ways, they have an advantage over the Alpha Legion.
The Sky Owl School is one of the five major psychic schools of the Thousand Sons Legion. Its scholars all have mastered mind control, which allows them to alter memories and manipulate minds.
Meanwhile, biologists from another school of thought, the Bright Feather School, can perform bio-shaping and alter their appearance.
The capabilities of these two schools of thought are practically designed for infiltration.
It seems I need to go back and find Magnus's servant, Amon, and have him infiltrate his intelligence organization, the Cult of the Concealers, in batches to investigate the internal movements and secrets of other legions.
This wasn't just Li Wei being overly pessimistic; he already had a vague feeling that the Primarch's rebellion was bound to happen, and that no one could stop it.
He needs to plan ahead and prepare for the future.
However, he can only be completely certain of his guess that the Primarch is destined to rebel once he sees other Primarchs.
But he saw a glimmer of hope in the fundamental composition of Magnus's soul.
Deep within Magnus's soul lies not only his own warp essence, but also the authority of Tzeentch.
Are the other Primarchs also like this, possessing the authority of the four Warp Gods?
Driven by the desire of the four Chaos Gods to reclaim their power, the Primarch's fall was inevitable, and even the Emperor could not prevent it.
"No..." Li Wei thought of another possibility: that the Emperor already knew, which was why he treated those Primarchs who were destined to rebel so coldly and harshly.
Li Wei casually tossed out a deep purple fireball, burning the last roaring, charging fallen psionicist to ashes. He then looked up at the golden palace, edged with blood and gold in the setting sun, and sighed inwardly: the cruelty of emperors.
He truly only loves humans, not his own offspring.
